The date for graduation has been set and will be May 17, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. Steve Pracht and Mitch Lindsey, along with Mr. Chapman, attended the OSSBA conference. Over the next couple of month a decision will need to be made on the wording for the proposed bond issue for next spring. There are transportation needs and also technology is needed. The possibility of a STEM lab has been discussed. Mr. Chapman wants to establish a committee that will visit schools that have tablets/iPads for each student to gather information on how they handle that technology. Mr. Chapman shared that high school currently has 60 Chrome books available and middle school also has 60 Chrome books. Ways to implement one on one technology in the elementary was discussed. The transportation report and the utilities summary were reviewed. Mr. Chapman reminded board members that the phone bill will be higher this year because there will be no e-rate funding.
